If Christians said that Jesus flew
into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday on a winged horse and landed on the Temple Mount we
would be laughed out of existence.
Obviously, those who believe in Muhammad’s claim to have traveled to Jerusalem
either in body or in spirit rely on blind faith rather than common sense. After
reading
Humphrey Prideaux’s account of The Life of Mohamet, there is simply no
compelling reason to believe that Muhammad’s Night Journey was anything other
than a dream unless of course Gabriel, as written before, is Satan in disguise which then makes the Night Journey
demonic in origin, and Muhammad the prophet of Satan.
OBSERVATION: After "ascending" through the seven heavens,
Gabriel suddenly tells Muhammad that he (Gabriel) may not go any farther with
him, therefore Muhammad continues alone through water and snow until he subsequently
arrives in “the presence of God (Allah)”.
COMMENT: Satan cannot be two entities at once (Gabriel and Allah) therefore
has to change from appearing as Gabriel guiding Muhammad through the seven
heavens, to appearing as Allah sitting under the Lote tree in paradise waiting
for his prophet. With Muhammad engaged in continuing the Night Journey by
himself, Satan has ample time to change his disguise.
